Being in an immunocompromised state

Tinea - Being in an immunocompromised state Factor

RMA definition

For the purposes of this Statement of Principles, an immunocompromised state means a state where the immune response has been attenuated by administration of immunosuppressive drugs, or by irradiation, certain types of infection, malnutrition, or a malignant disease process.

In most cases, medical advice will be needed to establish whether or not the veteran is in an immunocompromised state.

278the veteran has established the causal connection between the identified illness or injury which caused the immuno-compromised state and VEA service for tinea of the skin.

33879 the identified illness or injury caused the immuno-compromised state at the time of the clinical onset of tinea of the skin.

or

33877the veteran has established the causal connection between the identified illness or injury which caused the immuno-compromised state and eligible service for the clinical onset of tinea of the skin.

or

Clinical worsening and eligible service [33876]

7452 the identified illness or injury which caused the immunocompromised state is causally related to eligible service.

Important legislative change

As a result of this legislative change, the Department is updating its published information, including hardcopy and website content, as well as CLIK. While this process is well underway, it will take some time before all changes are complete. In the meantime, references within CLIK to the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1988 or SRCA should now generally be understood to be references to the new DRCA (with the exception of intended historical references to SRCA). It is important to note that the same provision references (i.e., sections, subsections and paragraphs) from the SRCA have been retained in the DRCA.
